The Governess comes in, and the Governess asks him what he's been up to. He tells her that he has been writing a prescription for his wife, and that he wants to make sure she doesn't have a heart attack. He also tells her about the state banquet that's going to be held at the same time as the lantern festival. He says that he'll do whatever he has to do at the banquet, even if it's against the wishes of his wife.
